Hollow-chamber seal, 6–8 mm: Discover and choose online
You can find high-quality 6–8 mm hollow-chamber seals – designed for glass thicknesses of 6–8 mm – in our online shop at www.duschdichtungprofile.de. We stock a wide range of shower seals and sealing lips in a variety of sizes and designs – including, of course, the 6–8 mm hollow-chamber seals. We know that shower seals and hollow-chamber seals are subjected to immense strain.
A shower seal is exposed to water every day, sometimes even several times a day. If the water is very hard, the plastic from which the profiles are made suffers even more damage. Shampoo and shower gel, as well as overly aggressive cleaning products, can also spell the end for a hollow-chamber seal: a new seal is needed. You can find these in our online shop.
Tips and tricks for installation
A hollow-chamber seal is fitted either between two doors or between a fixed element and a door. We also stock these hollow-chamber seals for glass thicknesses of 6–8 mm; that is all this designation implies. You can easily fit these seals yourself at home. To make installation easier and to offer some guidance, we’ve posted a YouTube video in our online shop featuring instructions, tips and tricks. This will help you get your new shower profile up and running in no time.

Accessories and Care
As already mentioned, hard water and overly harsh cleaning products in particular take their toll on the soft plastic from which a 6–8 mm hollow-chamber seal is made. Nevertheless, residues of shampoo and shower gel stick to the seals, which over time usually become unsightly due to discolouration or may even become porous. In our online shop, we stock, amongst other things, instant limescale removers and an anti-mould spray for maintenance.
We also stock a kit for coating glass shower enclosures and all ceramic surfaces – this keeps them looking good for longer and makes harsh cleaning products unnecessary. We have also added high-quality accessories for glass shower enclosures to our range. You’ll also find towel rails that can be easily clipped onto the shower screen without drilling, as well as shower door knobs. We also stock silicone for sealing joints, as well as a set containing silicone and an acrylic half-round rod.
What is a hollow-chamber seal used for in glass shower enclosures?
Hollow-chamber seals are used to seal gaps between glass elements or between glass and adjacent components. Thanks to the flexible hollow chamber, the seal can adapt well to different gap sizes.
For which glass thicknesses is the hollow-chamber seal suitable?
This model is suitable for glass thicknesses of 6 to 8 mm. Before purchasing, the actual glass thickness should be measured as accurately as possible to ensure that the profile fits securely on the pane.
What is the advantage of a hollow-chamber seal?
The hollow chamber provides additional flexibility and is better able to compensate for unevenness or small gaps. This makes the seal particularly suitable for glass shower enclosures where a gap needs to be reliably sealed.
Can I fit the hollow-chamber seal myself?
Yes, many hollow-chamber seals can simply be fitted onto the edge of the glass. Before fitting, the pane should be thoroughly cleaned and free of limescale, grease and other residues.
Can the hollow-chamber seal be cut to the correct length?
Yes, the seal can usually be cut to the required length. It is important to measure accurately beforehand and to cut the profile cleanly and straight so that it sits flush later on.
